The range of melee weapons include: swords, staffs, knives, axes, spears, daggers, scythes, clubs and nun-chucks. Melee weapons are best for close range combat, however knives can be thrown and can be considered a ranged weapon. At the Age Ceremony each individual Spirit Walker is expected to choose between a sword, axe, scythe or nun-chucks as well as collecting a dagger, two knives and their ranged weapon of choice. RANGEDAny projectile, or weapon that fires a projectile, whose range can be adjusted. DEFINITION FROM ALLWORDS Every Spirit Walker is trained in ranged combat as well as the above. They are trained with every ranged weapon available; bows, chakrams, javalins, crossbows, darts, throwing knives, slings and guns. However, guns are rarely used in the Mortal Realm due to suspicion from humans and because it takes longer to heal if shot. Ranged weapons are best for long distances. At the Age Ceremony each individual Spirit Walker is expected to choose one main ranged weapon, even though they are trained with each and every one. This is the same with melee weapons. |
